Dear Josef,
This sounds like a fairly unusual iconographic subject in east or
west, even though the Raising of Lazarus was, by itself, often
represented in Byzantine art as one of the Principal Feasts of the
Church. For further examples, you might try Gabriel Millet,
Recherches sur l'iconographie de l'Évangile aux XIVe, Xve et XVIe
siècles, d'après les monuments de Mistra, de la Macédonie et du
Mont-Athos, 2nd edn (Paris, 1960). How do you see this fresco
related to Docetism?
Cheers,
Jim Bugslag
